My health philosophy is "If your dog's overweight, you're not getting enough exercise." When I joined SparkPeople, I had 25lbs stubborn pounds to lose and my dog, Sheila, had 5lbs to lose. With the support of my Spark Teams and encouragement from Spark Friends, I am maintaining goal weight. And after a year of our shared walking program, Sheila is 5lbs lighter. She is a SparkPet success story!

My Program:
Walk a minimum of 5 miles per week, do at least 50 minutes of exercise 5 days a week and average 7000 steps per day. Post my weight each Saturday.

Personal Information:
My name is Tomi. I'm 59 and have lived in Vancouver WA for 20 yrs. I grew up in Portland Oregon before moving across the river. I have one mostly perfect son who will (fingers crossed) graduate from Linfield College spring 2013. His father died when he was in 6th grade so The Boy and I are very close. I also have an adorable mini-Aussie, 3 cats, and an ever changing number of fish.

Other Information:
I enjoy reading -almost always Cozy mysteries, scrapbooking and spending way too much time on the computer.
